Bilzfan mentioned Mr. Roberge on the first page of these posts. Great slider. Riot, as the best pitcher on a Telegram League Champion, the shout out was well deserved. There are, in fact, many guys who played at S.P. in those days that deserve mention.

I thought so too. I know there are/were a lot of great Maine baseball players in the pros, but who were the best high school players. It was my understanding that Bordick was a good high school baseball player, but he got better and better as he took it to his various next levels. Don't want to stir up the pot, but any thoughts?

Bob Raftice, Todd Lamb and Bill Swift played on the South Portland American Legion team in 1978. Raftice was drafted by the Yankees, Lamb to Duke and Swift to UMaine then the Seattle Mariners, Giants, Rockies, etc.
